Inconsistent behavior when selecting footage on Media Pool

PostFri Sep 14, 2018 8:15 am

My workflow goes like this. On Media Pool page at Media Storage panel , I select (<-- I'm emphasis this action) one from 300+ footage, to bring it up into preview panel (the right side from media storage panel). Then I define in and out point from that particular footage on preview panel, then I drag from preview panel to Media Bins on the bottom as "<footage-name> sub-clip".

The problem is, when I'm select the footage to bring it up into preview panel, often, the footage that are being displayed at preview panel is always jumping over between the current and the previously selected footage, as I moving my cursor from media storage to preview panel. Even the selection cursor (red outline on footage frame) is already in right footage.

I don't know whenever i must select the footage by single click, double click, or drag the footage to preview panel, or any other keyboard shortcut. My temporary solution is click twice with interval at 1-2 s, or click the footage on media storage, move cursor to preview panel (as this action bring previous selected footage back in preview panel), then click once again on footage at media storage. This behavior is happening in more that 50% of times when I'm selecting the footage.

Notice how I select footage #144 on media storage and at preview panel it shows footage #143. My cursor is at the preview panel atm, but it doesn't show up on screenshoot

Is there any 'right' way to bring footage into preview panel? How I report this bug? If you need more info on these, please do ask me, since I don't know what other information that being needed here... Thanks a lot...

The Live Preview feature allows you to hover the mouse cursor over clips and preview them - this is intended behavior, and the clip loaded in the viewer is not affected.

If you prefer to turn it off, the Live Preview option in the top right menu on the viewer can be toggled off.
